A Letter from the Editor Dear Readers, Rain thunders down here on the coast interspersed by periods of lovely sunshine and mild temperatures. Paperwhites (narcissus) clumps bloomed in my garden winter. What a picture it was, to bask in the joy of the Christmas lights on my roofline, and see the paperwhites waving with the breeze just below! And now many of the remaining 500 bulbs and the wild rhododendrons are finished and the colorful summer wildflowers are in bloom. I pray the choices you make for your library bring life-giving rain to the lives of your readers, sunshine to brighten their days, and joy to lighten their hearts. In this issue you will find many titles which will broaden the scope of your collection. I especially recommend Imperial Legions, wonderful historical fiction by our own editor Andrew Seddon. Andrew, born in England, returns there as he is able, this last time to continue his studies and to research English history for the writing of this book. Thinking of moving back, he kept track of the weather, and finding rain on each of his days there, he determined, at least for now, to remain in sunny Montana. We salute his choice, as we would miss him. Another title, Come What May, by our own reviewer Betty Hockett, inspired me greatly in reading of the lives and choices of a young American farm family determined to show young Hondurans a way to improve their lives and to bring them to Christ. Betty and her husband Gene returned to Honduras this winter to visit the work, now in its third generation. In Christ’s love, Nancy L. Hesch Editor and Publisher
